When You Left by Raphael Lali

Prolonged nights

All this pain I have to fight

Hiding behind fake smiles

But still walking the miles

They say real men don’t cry

I say only when people are looking

Wonderful days

I’m blessed some say

Little do they know

In the silence of my own cold bed

It’s a lonely dry desert

It never rains

Learning from our mistakes

Is the only real mistake we ever make

I should have learn from others’ mistakes

Now my world is fake

For God’s sake

Men cry too

Life happens when you don’t care

Is it fair?

It’s not about punch line jokes

It’s about laughing to the silliest of things

It’s not even about crying

But who cries with you

It’s not about immense houses

It’s a cosy home

It’s about dancing to the tune of life

Losing your soul in the ocean of bliss

It’s about mere peace

Finding bliss in small things

Letting life flow not roll

It’s not about exotic drinks

But who shares the moment

Always in all ways

Life is strife

But I’s about who endures with you

It’s not about perfection

But devotion

Life seemed easy when you were here

Little did I know

Little did I guess

Life is full of surprises

When you walked out that door

My glass heart fell to the floor

Only you can pick up the pieces
